"Uncomfortable Truth"

Moments gather...

Until the realization is made...

And understanding is finally seen...

That unspoken words begin to weigh a lot

And they usually tend to start speaking for themselves

You cannot control how other people receive your energy

Anything you do or say gets filtered through their lens of perspective

Which more times than enough, is their interruption, and it has nothing to do with you

And more about themselves...

It's the uncomfortable truth

You cannot convince, force or persuade people to understand

To love, listen, forgive or even accept any part of us

People are who they are

And we have options created...

Even if we don't like the choices we are presented with

Some disconnections will bring back quality of life

Because peace of mind carries an uncountable price

Turning the page of this day into the next chapter of tomorrow that always comes

And it is never easy to know that someone won't be there to see it

But like every day, the story does go on...

It's one of our greatest awakenings within the hard lesson learned

Not everybody changes...

Some people will never change...

And that is their journey and position taken

It's not ours to try and fix them...

Because shutting down instead of communicating

Can be just as toxic as arguing...

Stop showing them you will stay for anything

Because that is why they continue to put you through everything

Love should not have to be earned

It's freely given...

Respect is a basic human kindness

We are a being of time moving us forward

The best revenge given, is none...

Heal to the best of your ability

Thrive within the light that is absent of their darkness

So you never become like those who hurt you.
